Mini Movie

Wanted to share a quick mini movie I made. I really am enjoying combining my pictures with music. Easy way to turn some photos into something enjoyable and fun to watch!

Have a great day!

Life's a Dance

A wonderful young friend of ours had a dance recital last weekend. She did such an amazing job and is quite the little hip hopper, or what ever the correct term for that might be! After the performance we all went back to the Caston's house and had a late night BBQ and spent the next day playing and working outside, followed by yet another BBQ....life is good! Below are some pictures I captured of the family while at their home.

Birthday Boy

Drew's Sweet Sixteen! He asked for an electric guitar and amp...ohhhh the wonderful creation of headphones!! The only thing alllowing a 16 year old boy to have an amp in his room.... He was very happy!

Anchorage in Bloom

I've come to really enjoy photographing flowers, whether my own or those scattered around the city.

Cages and Camera

Recently took Chase to the Zoo in South Anchorage. We had a great time, great weather and I ended up with a few decent shots. Fighting the cages and fences to get a "great shot" proved difficult.

The brown bears proved the most entertaining as they were very anxious to get their lunch and were making the most hilarious faces...almost appearing to laugh, although I'm sure they were thinking it was anything but humorous!

Chase thought the wolves were neat! Most appeared to just be hot and tired but I talked them in to posing for a few shots :o)

The midday sun seemed to make all the animals either very sleepy or apt to hide out in the shady areas. The ideas I had of picture perfect opportunities for camera work quickly evaporated, but I had fun regardless!

I'm thinking about going back on an overcast day and see if the animals are a little more perky!
